Subject: [OT] Salute memories

The club I belong to ran a Star Wars based participation at Salute. Eighteen
inch Star Destroyer, lots of A,B Y and X wings, and Ties, you get the picture.
We get a lot of youngsters playing. They recognise and identify with the
background, but they can be a bit over enthusiastic, losing track of whats
happening around them

I watched a rather harrased individual tap one of the youngsters on the
shoulder.

"Robert didn't you hear the announcements?"
"Huh!"
"The voices telling you to meet your father at the Warlords administration
desk, we have to leave now" "But Dad" says the boy, indicating Tie fighters on
the table "I can't leave the Empire" "Robert I've seen the movie, believe me,
THEY LOSE"
